Brooklyn Armour Workshop & Classes

Post by templar1200 »

Good Day,
I am proud to say that a new armor workshop it being set up in Brooklyn. It is in the Brooklyn army terminal witch is in the same place as our fighter practice. We have a fair amount of tools for a new shop and it is growing weekly. But I am looking for some help. I am looking for some people to teach a class or two. You can teach what you like. From more period weapon making, armor design and construction. There is free parking in a secure lot out side the building. I am hoping to have a regular classes there over time. If you have any question please feel free to ask and any other help is welcome.
David

I took that title too literally.

Hi Gui.

Per our discussion, I'd be happy to help. Has to be after Pennsic though.

Remind me with an E-Mail so I dont' forget.

I think one of Tom Justus' old apprentices (who became an armoring Laurel in her own right) lives in the city somewhere.

Where in Brooklyn, I will be hitting NYC often later this year, I wouldn't mind stopping by to pound a few pieces in.

It would be great to get more advice at the shop.
This shop drastically increased the quality of my armour (not that plastic barrels are that hard to top), but the community of regular patrons has been the helpful hand needed to guide me along.
Anyone in the NYC area should stop by and join in. It is a collective run shop so the more people we get the more we all benefit.

Guy, I suggest you change the Subject of this thread to something like "Brooklyn Armour Workshop & Classes"
